Swearing, incidentally, will cost
$1 per oath., remind organizers,
and there will be a "cuss bucket"

will cost victims a buck, and "do-
overs" will cost $10 a pop.
BENEFICIARY JESICA is the
8-year-old daughter of Candice M.
Weeth and the granddaughter of
Doug and Sherry Weeth. At 2 she
was diagnosed with an inoperable
brain tumor that intertwined with
the left optical nerve, causing her
to lose sight in one eye. She under-
went chemotherapy for a year and
went into remission.
At 6 she was diagnosed with
three new tumors, one near her
brain stem and two on her left au-
ditory nerve. Her oncologists were
concerned that the new tumor
near her brain stem could cause
paralysis from the waist down, so
she resumed chemotherapy for al-
most a year.
At that time seizures forced
cessation of the procedure, but
the good news was two of the new
tumors had disappeared and the
other two had shrunk.
THIS YEAR, following an
all-expenses-paid trip to Disney
World in Florida courtesy of the
Make-A-Wish Foundation, Jesica
had another MRI, and the news
was even better:
Three of the new tumors had
disappeared entirely, the one near
her brain stem had shrunk and
the original optical tumor had di-
minished in size as well.
The family continues to feel
financial strain, however, report
the Fraziers, and so it is hoped
that this weekend's tournament
can help defray the costs of driv-
ing Jesica to Children's Hospital
for her quarterly MRIs and other
tests she must continue to under-
go and also help start a fund for
her college education.

enough as it was, to be sure -
what with his head-coaching du-
ties on behalf of one of the host
community's four tournament
entries, the 13-and-under girls'
"Wild Things" contingent.
Kinney and assistant coach
Sara Seleg guided the Wild
Things to third place in their di-
vision over the weekend despite
the usual early-season challeng-
es. "We've got six new girls on the
team that played their very first
games of soccer," says Kinney,
noting that finding their ideal
roles is a coaching challenge he's
yet to master. "But they're doing
very well. I was real pleased."
Three other Shelton teams
participated in the huge affair.
Winding up with matching sec-
ond-place finishes were the girls
of "Team Shelton" in the 18- and
19-year-olds' division and the
"Shelton Thunder" girls in the U-
14 division. And copping fourth-
place honors in the U-15 boys'
battle were the "Tornadoes."
The tourney serves as the fall
season kickoff of the South Ma-
son Youth Soccer Club - and in
fact has done so for more than a
dozen years now, says Kinney. It
has grown steadily in numbers
since the outset and now ranks
among the biggest such assem-
blies in the state.
NOT SO'S YOU'D notice, at any rate, as the hometown "Wild Things"
of U-13 girls' soccer help kick off the weekend's 98-team "South Mason
Kickoff" soccer tournament Friday evening at the Johns Prairie multi-
field facility. Top right, flush from battle but not too spent to register her
approval on the sideline, is Wild Thing Alyssa Olivas. And emerging from
a tangle of funny bones in the nearmost shot, moments before the start
of the game, are teammates Angela Albright (9) and Alexis Johnson. In
the insets, from the top, Wild Thing Emily Rodriguez (left) gets a step on
her rival near midfield, the aforementioned Ms. Albright watches team-
mate Desirae Klokkevold's shot split two defenders en route to the back
of the rival net and a visiting coach pumps up his lads at halftime of an
adjacent-field showdown.
Bayshore
Bayshore's ladies yielded the
following in their regular Tues-
day get-together:
August 21,3 Little Pigs & the Big Bad Wolf
First flight - Alice Chapman first and
Toni Stevens and Coralie Watters tied for
